someone who would like to receive a personal letter from the man in red himself

children's letters. Your child can write their letter to Santa and post it in
the ‘Special Santa Box’ in the Una Bhan Craft Shop, €5 per child (to cover
admin charges - no stamp required!), then leave the rest to us. Make sure your child includes their full
name, address, age and special requests for Christmas and include a mention of
any brothers, sisters or special friends so the reply can be really personal.
We will make sure that Santa gets to read each letter and write a personal
letter back, which will be posted directly to the child. Santa’s Letter Service
will up until Saturday 16th December.
